Welcome to the Community! 

If you are placing tags on the document and they are appearing very small, this is normally caused by an uploaded PDF that was very large. 

Each document has a page size and resolution(dpi) . DocuSign maintains  the resolution and page size when uploaded into the application . If the resolution is high or the page is oversized, then fields appear very small when placed on your document.

You can normally resolve by either  1. Manually Changing the size of the tag.

• Learn how in the previously answered thread (https://support.docusign.com/en/answers/00003049) Is it possible to change the size of your signature  

2. Reformatting the document

• using  the (https://support.docusign.com/en/answers/00008225) Print Driver
• or a  PDF editor to ensure that the document is the correct size, before uploading into DocuSign
• ​One community member swears by compressing files before every upload in the thread (https://support.docusign.com/en/answers/00004373) Compression Suggestions for large files .

My font size is too small. And signatures are coming in too small.  How can I increase the size.

My document is about a 1/4 of the size that it should be. the signature tags are also very small and not adjustable as they usually are.

the document is too small to read.  The magniification button (+) does not enlarge the document.

Please advise.

Thanks

Why  are the signatures I receive back so small they are almost illegible.  The line from DocuSign on the upper  left seems even less than a #1 font.  No one can read it.  Why

Check the scale set on the tag.  There is a slider to the right of the tag .

Also the formatting properties of the Initial tag will have a 'Scale'  0-100% for the tag.  100% will be full size.

The initials that I requesting can not even be seen, I'm the sender before I was able to make out the intials and signature. Now its so small I can not see it. 

Welcome to the community everyone! 

If  you have scaled the tag to the maximum size  and it is still barely visible, this may be related to the resolution and dimensions of the document you uploaded. I have merged your question with a previously answered discussion.

Why are the tags so small on an uploaded document, they can't be made larger.

Just recently, when I prepare a document for signature, the icon that I use to indicate where the receiver should sign is so small that the signature can't be seen. How do I change the icon and the font so that the signature can be seen?

recently, when placing spots for initials and signatures, the fields are very very very small

I sent to my clients anyway to see what would happen, but when I received back you can't see the initials or signatures unless you enlarge document, which makes document way oversized just to see the initials.

What is going on?

Hello, Welcome to the DocuSign Support Community!

Are you dealing with scanned documents? If so, the resolution of a scanned document will affect tag size. Here's are a few things to keep in mind for fields appearing very tiny:If you upload a scanned file to DocuSign, and your fields appear very small, then the cause is likely one of the following:

• The resolution of your uploaded file
• The page size of your uploaded file

When you scan a document you select a resolution (in dpi) and a page size. DocuSign is maintaining the scanned resolution and page size when the system converts your scanned file to a PDF. If the resolution is high or the page is oversized, then fields appear very small when placed on your document.Try the following solutions:

1. Scan your original at a lower resolution. Generally, 200 dpi or lower should produce a manageable resolution.
2. Check the page output size for your scan. If you can set it to 8.5x11", you should get a file that will display fields at an appropriate scale. 

If you have further questions, please let me know.

Thank you.Donna

The font on the signature and the Text box and the date is too small - can hardly see it on the document

How do I make those bigger.  even pulling the placement field or the text box bigger leaves it still too small

I called support and they walked me through resizing the document using docupub.com

Nice - quick - easy and Free.

So Use Docupub.com and resize your document that you are signing and then the tags will be an appropriate size.

I see that you have had assistance from the Customer Service team, I have merged your query with previously answered posts. In your situation, it was the magnification of the document. Sometimes, there are other things to take into consideration and that's why I merged your question with the others.

Thank you.Donna
